At Wolf Piano or Schmitt Music, you can see and try pianos, while Music Go Round is another place to look at instruments. Ask the student to play a few notes and notice how the keys feel. Whichever you choose, keep the instrument clean, avoid placing drinks nearby, and arrange regular tuning for an acoustic piano.

The Minnesota Opera and Out of the Box Opera offer chances to hear voices and instruments working together; listen for a tune, then try finding its shape on the piano.
